So Right Click the engine Crank switch right behind the APU and wait for the Engine RPM (IFEI Display) of the right Engine to hit at least 10% to ignite the fuel in the engine.Īfter this we can use the Throttle (Right) – IDLE control to put the Throttle to idle and start the Engine. It is recommended to Crank the Right Engine first, as this powers a lot of electrical systems in the plane. The APU switch is by the throttle, switch it to “ON” and wait for the light to turn Green.Īfter the light turns Green, we’re gonna “Crank” the Engine, basically giving it a spool so it can start properly. The Battery Switch is by your right knee, switch it to “ON”. Throttle (Right) – IDLE / Default RShift + Homeįirst we’re gonna start up the Battery and APU (Auxilliary Power Unit) Throttle (Left) – IDLE / Default RAlt + Home Since the Hornet is basically a flying Macbook Air (Pun intended) the startup is pretty easy.
